Professor Meyer's group studies formation of the chemical elements in stars and stellar explosions, the chemical form in which those elements are ejected into the interstellar medium, and the evolution of those elements as they traversed their place of origin to the Solar System. A particular goal of the group's work is to understand isotopic effects in primitive meteorites as manifestations of nuclear and chemical processes in stars and the interstellar medium. The work involves extensive computer modeling.
